Lhuentse Festival – 4 to 7 January, 2020

  • Lhuenste is one of the easternmost districts in Bhutan and borders the autonomous region of Tibet. As the ancestral home of our Kings, it hosts a number of important and sacred monuments. The most important amongst these is Lhuentse Dzong, a majestic fortress that sits upon a high ridge overlooking the Kurichu River. Almost every village in Lhuentse boasts of festivals that are unique and distinct from those in other communities in Bhutan.

  • Two notable festivals are the Cha and the Ha festivals. They are celebrated to honor the deities and avert misfortunes. However, the most important festival is the annual three–days festival. The Tshechu draws large numbers of people together for the religious celebrations.

  • One of the most interesting and visually appealing aspects of these Tshechus is the colorful attire of Kushithara that Lhuentse is famous for. You will come across various intricate and beautiful patterns of Kira and rich ornaments on display.
